Technical Overview

Your HRDE4X4 DVR incorporates a switcher and multiplexer for selectable multi-mode
display, digital motion detection, camera tiling, and event, pre-event, or timelapse
recording.

The DVR converts analog NTSC or PAL video to digital images and records them on one
hard drive. You can access recorded video from the hard drive or previously archived video
from a USB stick. You can watch live video while simultaneously recording.

Rev 2.00 1 Document 900.0399

The Remote Access Software allows the administrator to remotely connect to and monitor
multiple networked DVRs. The software logs the operational and alarm status of sites once
a day for later analysis. The software lets you search based on time and retrieve video clips
from remote sites.

need for service.

When replacement parts are required, ensure the service technician uses replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this equipment, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the equipment is in proper
operating condition.

This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should conform to
all local codes.

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

An operating temperature range is specified (see Appendix D, Specifications) so that
the customer and installer may determine a suitable operating environment for the

If the network is linked with DHCP, which supports dynamic IP
addresses, the DVR can send out the assigned dynamic IP
address to the e-mail address set by the user.

Mail Address

User can set an e-mail address for receiving the dynamic IP
address assigned by the DHCP server.

Mail Server IP

Is the IP address of a Mail Server run by the Manufacturer. To
receive the assigned dynamic IP address sent to the e-mail
address set by the user on the DVR, the user has to apply this mail
server IP address on the DVR.

Ports

When you connect one or more DVRs to a network through an IP sharing device, each
device must have a unique RTSP port number for remote access to each unit from outside
the LAN (Local Area Network). Also, the IP sharing device must be configured for port
forwarding so that each port, when accessed on the IP sharing device, will forward to the
appropriate DVR.

Note This port number is listed next to the PORT menu option in the Network

Setup screen. If you plan to access the DVR units only from within the same

LAN, the RTSP port does not have to be changed.

Network Types

There are three network types available. Each type requires different settings.

LAN

To use the LAN option when connecting the DVR to a network, the following information is
required. See your network administrator if you do not have this information.

IP The fixed IP address of the DVR unit

Gateway The IP address of the Gateway

Rev 2.00 23 Document 900.0399

03/06

Subnet Mask The Subnet Mask for the LAN

DNS Server IP The IP address for the DNS server

DHCP

Select DHCP to use the DHCP option when connecting the DVR to a network. An IP
address is automatically assigned by the DHCP server, which automatically assigns IP
addresses and other parameters to new devices. The assigned IP address and MAC
address are displayed when DHCP is selected.

If the network connection does not allow additional IP addresses, then an IP sharing device
will be needed. In this case, forwarding may be needed to allow for a network connection.
For more information on port forwarding, see the documentation for your IP sharing device,
or contact your network administrator.

ADSL

To use the ADSL option when connecting the DVR to a network, the following information is
required. See your network administrator if you do not have this information.

ID The user ID for the ADSL connection

Password The password for the ADSL connection

Your ADSL connection must have an RJ45 output to connect to the DVR.
When sharing the connection with other devices, an IP sharing device should be used. In

this case, select LAN as the NETWORK TYPE. You must also configure the IP sharing
device for port forwarding to allow for a network connection.

For more information on port forwarding, see the documentation for your IP sharing device,
or contact your network administrator.

Network Mode

The DVR provides a live remote monitoring feature. Remote monitoring requires installation
of a Remote Access Software program on your PC (see Chapter 5, RAS Installation). A LAN
connection using the RJ45 connector on the DVR rear panel is mandatory for remote
connection. For detailed features on operation of the RAS program, please refer to

Chapter 6 and Chapter 7.

For local operation purposes, the frame rate is limited to 1 frame/sec when there is no
recording operating on the DVR. When recording is in progress, the video frame rate for live
monitoring will follow the recording frame rate.

Archiving Video

To archive a still image or video clip to a USB stick, the user must first archive a still image
or video clip to the hard drive.

Archiving Images or Video onto the Hard Drive

Still images can be captured and archived onto the hard drive in live mode or while playing
back recorded video. In live mode, press ARCH to capture and store the still image. When
you press ARCH, Figure 4-14 will display.

Figure 4-14 Archive Mode Screen

The still image will be archived onto the hard drive and can be transferred to a USB stick
afterwards.
In playback mode, press ARCH to launch the archiving function. The DVR will ask whether
to store a Still Image or Video clip (see Figure 4-14). If the user selects STILL, it will store
the captured still image on the HDD. If the user selects VIDEO, the DVR will keep a record
of the archiving operation without actually writing to the hard drive. When a USB stick is
plugged in and archiving to the USB is requested, the DVR will convert the corresponding
portion of video into an AVI file and store it onto the USB stick. Make sure to transfer the
data to the USB stick before the actual video content is erased from the hard drive,
otherwise the clip will be lost, even if archived to the hard drive.

Transferring Still Images or Video onto USB

To begin transferring stored images or video to a USB stick, connect the DVR to a USB
stick through the USB port on the front panel (see Figure 3-1). Press Search then select
Archive, this will bring up the ARCHIVE screen (see Figure 4-15), which will allow you to
select a date to search for stored images or video.

Select one of the files in the archived list using the UP and DOWN arrow buttons, and then
press ARCH to transfer the file to the USB stick. If there is enough space for archiving, the
DVR will start transferring the file. In the case of video, the DVR will convert the video and
audio into an AVI format while transferring the video file into the USB stick. This will allow

the video to be played back using programs such as the Windows Media Player

TM

.

See Appendix B, Playing AVI Archive Clips if your archived clips are not playing back on
your local PC for procedures to install updated video codecs to assist with this.

Note When archiving video from a Quad view to the USB stick, only the video

from the one highlighted camera will be moved to the USB stick.
